One way is to use quick-view.

You Open explorer on the directory you want to flick through
(or use Explorer 'find' tool to get the ones you're interested
in, or all text files on your PC if you like)

You right-click the first file you want to look at
In the pop-up menu, click on 'Quick view'
The first file will be viewable.

Now all you do is drag each successive file into the quickview
window and it will immediately replace the previous one without
having to close it.
[You'll probably need to adjust the size/position of the
explorer & quickview windows to see both at same time]
